Apparently Asimov linked the robots into Foundation some decades afterwards, so maybe he agreed with you. (I've not read past the original trilogy, so can't say for sure.)
- robertlagrant 2y agoHe did! Foundation and Earth.
- therobots927 2y agoThey were incorporated but there seemed to be a clear separation between Gaia (the planet where everyone had telepathy and they basically stored data inside of the rocks/earth’s core) and the robots. Maybe that was a misunderstanding on my part, and Gaia was a world of robots. Which would also imply that the Mule was a robot. That being said it would also imply many of the members of the second foundation were also robots. I don’t know if this is the right interpretation.

- therobots927 2y agoHow can I unmirror this?
- oasisaimlessly 2y agoWith great difficulty. > We find out in the final Asimov volume that the Mule was a Gaian, though not a robot. Gaia was founded by R. Daneel Olivaw. If I recall it was a side bet if the second foundation didn't save humanity. Do kids these days not know about rot13?
- dbspin 2y agoGreat - you've literally revealed the spoiler. Do kids these days not know about internet etiquette?
- selimthegrim 2y agoThat’s interesting, because I thought the person in question was supposed to represent a certain historical figure.
